| DESIGN NAME: Action Means Everything PRIMARY FUNCTION: Campaign Poster INSPIRATION: This project can be seen as a product of the designer's observation of 2020. It has been a difficult year that has raised lots of questions and challenges for all of us. We have always been talking about them, but 2020 has finally forced us to act - to wear masks, to vote, to unlearn biases - to take actions for a cause. It serves as a comment and a reminder for society, that changes will only come if we choose to act. UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: This campaign proposal advocates the importance of actions over empty promises, making people notice the changes and empowerment brought by active participation. The visual design of the campaign takes inspiration from protest arts, translating platitudinous phrases into lively and straightforward narratives. The bright color palette is intended to bring positivity and freshness to viewers. OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: The campaign consists of three phases: first, the posters bring the idea of taking action into viewers' notice, and then direct viewers' to share their acts in digital spaces and social media with the hashtag #2020ActionMeansEver PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: - FITS BEST INTO CATEGORY: Graphics, Illustration and Visual Communication Design |
PRODUCTION / REALIZATION TECHNOLOGY: The design process started as a brainstorm of keywords and spontaneous sketches of them. For the posters to be as relevant and relatable to the viewer as possible, the designer began her design process with hand-drawn sketches of body figures. She took references from comic illustrations and protest arts, taking the sketches into computer software, and integrated typography into the narratives to better communicate the ideas. SPECIFICATIONS / TECHNICAL PROPERTIES: This project includes a series of three portrait posters in A2 dimension, a series of four posters in square dimension, one landscape poster for large outdoor banners, and a series of digital marketing assets (1980*1080px) for Instagram stories. TAGS: Graphic Design, Poster, Illustration, Typography, Identity Design, Campaign, Branding RESEARCH ABSTRACT: - CHALLENGE: The most challenging part of this project is to find a way to effectively visualize abstract ideas into narratives that are easy to comprehend. The research process involved an extensive search of all kinds of protest art and illustration style for visual reference. The key was to develop a compelling narratives with a good balance of visuals and typography. ADDED DATE: 2020-12-08 19:44:30 TEAM MEMBERS (1) : IMAGE CREDITS: Hsiao-Wen Hu, 2020. |
